Are you 18-23 and passionate about sustainability and education? The Department for Education are recruiting for the next cohort of Youth Sustainability Champions – three young people who will help shape education policy and provide a youth voice mechanism in heart of policy making.

This is an incredible two-year opportunity to get involved in national decision making alongside civil servant and government ministers, further and champion youth climate action, and meet young people across the country and beyond.

Successful applicants will be supported all the way by SOS-UK, the youth-led climate justice charity, and receive an annual stipend of £1000. No experience needed, just a passion for sustainability, education and the power and potential of young people.
